Beanie Sigel Denied Bail

On Monday Beanie Sigel was ordered held without bond pending trial on a federal weapons charge. That will keep him off the summer “Roc the Mic” tour with Jay-Z and other Roc-A-Fella label stars. “Here’s a kid who starts getting arrested when he’s 14 years old. … And what he’s doing now, at 29, he’s straddling that line,” said Philadelphia Police Lt. Michael Chitwood, who waited backstage to arrest Sigel on an attempted-murder charge during a July 3rd tour stop in Camden, New Jersey. “He has a God-given talent. But he’s refusing to cross that line and leave the thug element behind.”
